OMG should i be greedy and spend the yarn or.. not be greedy
0-o
THAT SO MEAN but fun ^^

YAYness!!! I am exicted! XD

Yay for the event !! ^u^

Noooo! Don't make me choose ;(
I should have spent some time making more gold. Well...since my mule's not on a team i guess he can be greedy while i try to be generous.

I'm excited for this event <3!
-happy dances in the snow-

ZOMG! Thanks so much for the new glasses! I've always wanted a pair of glasses here on Mene since I wear them in real life. ^^;

And... Yay! I love the Heaven Kitty! Kitties are the best... ^///^

So the point of this event is to guilt us for wanting items?
It's an avatar site, it's why people are here. >>

Or, y'know, you can not take it seriously and enjoy the event as you see fit. But if feeling guilty makes you happy - go for it. ;)

*hopes that the holiday items are unisex*

I think it was pretty obvious that it does not make me happy.

Yay! Winter Nights is here! ^O^/)

Donate or spend? *q* Which to choose?

All the new items are adorable and hard to resist! *q*

Let's see....~~

Imma get my outfit soon I need to talk to get golddd!!

WIN. :D

Anywhos, yay for purty event commons! :insane: I had to blow all my gold on one of those adorable heaven kitties. X3

Will there be special event items that we can spend the yarn on, like the Yumeh Bats from halloween and such? :3

@Lathrine: That's what the snow buckets are for. ^^ The yarn can be donated to Channah or spent on event commons, but the snow is what you trade for the prizes (which is on the "Building a Snowman" page).

Loving the event items, so adorable!


And I'm sure that making you feel 'guilty' is not what was intended.
You should just try and enjoy the event.

Ferra- Oh~ :D Alright, thank you! *gets her bucket of snow and yarn ball* Haha, now I just need to post more and I'm all set. :3

Fabulous commons!! OMG you don't know how much I love these!! Specially these duckies!!
I'm glad I've been saving up for the event. <3 So now I can donate to channah AND enjoy my items!!

No, the event was not intended to make anyone feel guilty about spending their yarn. It's more about building relationships through posting and talking to your teammates, friendly competition (who can donate the most yarn), and just being happy to be around people you consider friends.

Let's face it. We're all members of avatar communities and each and every single one of us likes free stuff. If we really wanted you to feel bad, we wouldn't give you an opportunity to use the yarn for commons at all and let you spend your hard earned gold on them. We wouldn't give you event items at all, but that's not what we or the event are about, and I'm very sorry you feel that way Cherry.

Then why name the character Greed if your intention isn't to make people feel greedy and otherwise insinuate greed in the event? It would probably not sound so bitter were his name something else.

Well, his name is Greed because he is Greed, silly bean.

I'm pretty sure that the.... Oh, well, damn. I take it back. I forgot those pages of the storyline hadn't been released yet.

Greed is Greed is Greed, all right?

Channah is temporary, but the items are forever!

So thank you Greed and here I come STORE!

The holidays to some are a time of sharing. Because of this we wanted to play on that feeling and bring it into our own event.

Our storyline and event is definitely not meant to make anyone feel guilty or greedy, Cherry. I'm saddened to hear that you feel this way, unless I've misunderstood where you're coming from.

If we called our character Greed anything else he would lose his intended effect. I apologize that it might offend some people, but there is no way we can anticipate every reaction from every side of the fence. All we can do is listen and built upon the feedback we receive.

This event will go on as planned, and if it doesn't work out well in regards to how the masses feel, we will definitely adjust. We want everyone to have a good time. We don't want anyone to feel badly or like they're being labeled if, for example they use their event currency to buy commons at their half-price.

Taking a virtual currency to take a virtual item is in no way reflective of how a person is on the inside. I wouldn't call anyone greedy for using their yarn to get a little holiday joy. It is quite literally meant to be a fun storyline and nothing more.

Two things.

Finally!
The event has started!
Wewt-Wewt.
Too bad I can't be online now.....

Second, yay for items!
Especially the kitty! I wanted one ever since I saw it in someone's set.

Put woah is me....
Maybe I'll use gold instead of yarn....

; _____;

I'm using my yarn. I see no reason why anyone shouldn't if they'd like to.

I'm happy whether Greed is defeated and Channah wins and the Snowman is completed. Or if Greed wins.

It's great fun to me either way. And I want my shiny toys.
